Happiness isn’t going to stroll up to your front door and ring the doorbell. It isn’t going to send you an urgent meeting request. It isn’t going to wrap itself up in sparkly paper with a fancy bow and present itself to you with a fireworks show and dramatic music.
I have learned that we have more power over our own happiness than we are typically willing to admit. Keep searching for happiness in buying things, or seeking approval and validation from others, or comparing, and it will always elude you. Find ways to appreciate each day, to breathe and find peace, to grow as a person, and to give the gift of happiness to others…and suddenly, your own happiness is a lot easier to discover as well.
